The separation of the Siamese twins born last Thursday in the San Lorenzo de Los Min Maternitya is complicated and difficult, because, unlike having an independent heart and brain, the other organs function in common.
The management of the center reported this afternoon that the newborns remain stable, under a reserved prognosis, with good breathing and without any abnormality.
However, the separation is difficult, because although they were born with separate hearts, the same does not happen with the other organs, such as the liver and kidneys.

David Salvador, spokesman for the health center, said that the issue of a possible separation was addressed to the mother of the woman in labor, but not to the mother of the infants.
He confirmed that they both have separate hearts, but not livers, which makes the separation complicated. Siamese twins were born joined at the thorax and abdomen.
Siamese twins share a liver, a stomach, and have four upper limbs and two lower limbs. They have separate brains and hearts.
«With the arrival of the creatures, there are several cases of Siamese in this maternity. The mother is a 25-year-old girl, who together with her partner were guided from the first sonography by the gynecologist, and they also continue in this process with our team of psychologists, “says Dr. Leonardo Aquino Rosario, general director of the health center .
The children, who present special conditions, came into the world this Thursday, September 22, attended by a team of experienced doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists, including doctors Alexandra Pérez Medrano, Bianchi Duarte, Rosario, Aslhey Abreu and Jennifer Rosado, coordinated by Dr. Dafne Sánchez.
